The UHNW Institute’s 2025 Summer Reading List is Now Available 

Each August, The UHNW Institute pauses regular programming to share a curated Summer Reading List—an annual tradition shaped by recommendations from our members.  

The list reflects the diversity of expertise and interests within our community, drawing from multiple disciplines to provide resources that are both thought-provoking and enjoyable. Every title, article, and podcast has been selected because it sparked conversation, offered new perspectives, or provided a moment of reflection for the member who recommended it.  

Here’s a few titles from this year’s collection:  

• Conflict Resilience by Robert C. Bordone and Joel Salinas, M.D., recommended by Arne Boudewyn, Moira Somers, and Stacy Allred  

• The Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande, described by Natasha Pearl as “essential reading for SFOs and their advisors, and probably everyone”  

• The Diary of a CEO podcast with Steven Bartlett  

• The Prof G Pod, where Scott Galloway offers his trademark candid commentary  

Alongside these selections, the list also features professional works on governance, risk, leadership, and long-term strategy; seasonal fiction; and articles and podcasts that connect ideas across disciplines.
